Text and Translation:

Réquiem ætérnam dóna éis, Dómine:
et lux perpétua lúceat éis.
Te décet hýmnus Déus in Síon,
et tíbi reddétur vótum in Jerúsalem:
exáudi oratiónem méam,
ad te ómnis cáro véniet.
Réquiem ætérnam dona éis, Dómine:
et lux perpétua lúceat éis.

Kýrie eléison.
Chríste eléison.
Kýrie eléison.

Rest eternal grant them, O Lord:
and let light perpetual shine upon them.
A hymn befits Thee, O God, in Zion,
and to Thee shall be paid a vow in Jerusalem:
Hear my prayer,
to Thee all flesh shall come.
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord:
and let light perpetual shine upon them.

Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
